i try to write what i want to say
but i still haven't found the words ...
& blank my mind stays
while my heart is so unheard.
i can't seem to get it out, though I've tried before.
... i can only say words, but i need so much more.
this is like an unpainted picture, or an unwritten song.
I'm running out of ink from phrases that are all wrong.
it seems the thoughts are there, inside, with all i wanna shout.
tearing me apart inside, just begging to come out.
the words, they seem to desperately climb up in my lungs.
& sit nervously at the tip of my tongue.
but my heart argues with my mind & i give up...
because my heart says they could never be enough.
i trip over myself, & clumsily stutter.
& inside me the butterflies start to flutter.
& when you say you love me, i realize ...
this is how it's meant to be.
& baby, you're the ONLY one who has that effect on me.
& when i close my eyes, you're there, holding me tight.
whispering into my ear, making every thing right.
i look into your eyes, & god knows i see nothing less
than someone i can spend the rest of my life with.
i can see us staying in love, day after day, year after year...
i can picture you gently wiping away my unneeded tears.
i can picture us so many years from now, just as in love as the very first day.
i can picture us sitting on a bench in the park, my head on your shoulder, watching our kids play.
i can picture what it would be like with your eyes being the last thing i see before i sleep.
i can see you being the only thing i ever need.
i can picture myself walking toward you as you smile
thinking "god i love him" as i walk down the aisle.
i can picture me seeing you the same as i did a decade before.
i could give you the world, but you still would've given me more.
i can picture us getting through every sort of weather.
i can see us someday growing old together.
you're something to me, i just can't find the word.
perfect, incredible, every kind of wonder.
i promise you, we will always be together.
i promise to stay in love forever.
i know nothing i say could ever describe
how much i really do need you inside.
i can't go a moment w/o thinking about you,
& i could never imagine life without you.
i wanna show you a love you never knew.
i wanna always be here, i wanna depend on you.
I'm so proud to be your baby & your girl.
there's one thing i know & i know for sure...
& that's that i love you more than anything in the world.
but then again, those are only words . . .
